Del-Fi Audio has gone ahead and created a truly unique and innovative set of [fully hybrid speaker headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disruptive-headphone). The so-called [Apollo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gemini-robotics) headphones look like and work as regular headphones -- until, that is, you convert them to embrace their [Bluetooth speaker functionality](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robosen-soundwave).

 All you have to do to morph the Apollo is to push a simple button, causing the headphones to switch function. At this point, you can place them on the desk and enjoy full speaker functionality that comes with high-fidelity audio within a beautiful and elegant design package.

These speaker headphones will appeal to those who don't want to invest in a separate set of space-taking speakers and would rather enjoy the best of both worlds in one package.
